But it isn't just the beaches IFAW will be monitoring. In the past two years, more than 15 rescued dolphins have received tags, which are used to monitor the dolphins' conditions. This year, IFAW will do the same, according to the Boston Globe .

Lisa Witzke a coastal resident, described the rescue to the Globe:

“You see these animals that are so beautiful but they’re so stressed out,’’ Witzke said. “You feel such compassion and it’s such a humbling experience.’’

IFAW works with all animals, working to protect pets, groups of animals and even habitats by reducing commercial exploitation of animals around the world.
